Why does the same code mean different things?
Appliance manufacturers each define their own diagnostic codes. A code like F2E1 may indicate a water supply issue on one brand and a sensor fault on another. Always look up the code for your specific brand and appliance type — fixing the wrong component wastes time and money.
